Systems development methods mirror different organizational perspectives, and not all methods are formalised, but what they have in common is the purpose of structuring and supporting systems development processes. Which method would be the most suitable may be determined by the systems development context at hand, because every systems development context is unique. Information is a valuable asset in today?s organizations, and it needs to be protected against both internal and external security threats. In our essay we aspired to find and present suggestions as to how systems developers can include security in the very design based on formalised systems development methods to create systems that are better prepared to meet the security challenges of today.

The increased specialisation and complexity in products and services has created the need for Swedish companies to focus more on their core businesses. This has resulted in them opting to buy services and products that lie outside of their core business from consultancy businesses or other types of suppliers. When companies describe their offers in internal and external marketing it is done often in terms of company or service attributes that are not based on customer value or offered value for the customer. The reason for this is that companies have not adapted their services to the different needs of their customers. As a result of this, they run the risk of offering the same services as their competitors and communicate values that the customers either do not understand or experience as value adding.

Problem och Syften:Det har visat sig att en vanlig orsak bakom icke framgångsrika tjänsteföretag är att företagets medarbetare inte är tillräckligt informerade om vad företaget står för vilket gör att de inte alltid levererar tjänsten på det sätt de lovat sina kunder. En av orsakerna till detta problem kan vara att företaget misslyckats med att marknadsföra sin tjänst och sitt varumärke internt. Med denna studie vill vi då undersöka hur ett tjänsteföretag kan gå tillväga för att försäkra sig om att de anställda levererar tjänsten i enlighet med kundlöftet: Hur får ett tjänsteföretag sina kundtjänstmedarbetare att leverera tjänster i enlighet med vad varumärket lovat sina kunder? Vi vill undersöka vilka faktorer och problemområden som inverkar på detta problem samt undersöka hur dessa kan påverkas och hanteras på ett tjänsteföretag. Det ena av uppsatsens två syften handlar om att vi vill kunna skapa en modell samt ge praktiska exempel för hur ett företag kan använda de två teorierna Internal Marketing och Internal branding, för att arbeta med detta problem.

The aim of this thesis is to explore how a bookstore chain and a public library meet the needs of their customers through environmental scanning. The empirical material is derived from six semi-structured interviews with six informants, three from each organization, together with an analysis of internal documents. The method used is a case study and the theoretical framework is based on models used in the process of environmental scanning, as described by Choo, Hamrefors and Hedin & Sandström among others, and which facilitate a comparison of the environmental scanning of the two organizations. The results of the study indicate that the library, as a public organization with a mission in society, perceives the environment as society as a whole and all its members as their users, whereas the bookstore concentrates on the sectors of the environment that affect their sales. The consequences of these different views are that the library is more active in the environment and uses surveys as a basic source of information, while the bookstore is more passive, and relies on statistics for information.

In recent years, several scandals have been revealed where public employees been involved. Some researchers argue, moreover, that the NPM's rampage has led to an increase in the risk of corruption in public administration.

However, Riksrevisionen have criticized the authorities' protection against corruption to be too unstructured and unsystematic. In addition, they questioned whether the regulation really has significance in the work against corruption.
